OH man, I LOVE this. So beautiful. And paints such a -human- picture of Lal. I love that you explained where that photo in the manga came from and I love the snips of Colonello that we get, playful and carefree, such a contrast to the harsh infant he is in the present timeline.

Everything you wrote seemed very plausible, seemless in your integration of canon details and fanon theories. Nice!

!! You have no idea how relieved and happy I am to know that someone can actually understand this fic without my having to explain anything. I couldn't use names for the flashback scenes because I am under the belief that most of them changed their names only after becoming arcobaleno. But thank you and I am glad you liked. :D

OH MAN

I love how Reborn is so IC -- he's SMILING, people!! Reborn smiles a lot!!

Poor Colonello. POOR LAL, jeez. One of my favorite lines: "You do nothing to encourage conversation, but somehow know you will remember everything he's said despite it."

Like Jess said -- Lal is very human here. Good job, chica!!

♥ Thank you~! If there was one thing I learned while writing this fic it was that I enjoy writing grownup!Reborn a lot. Probably more than I should, but yea. I found him horrendously fun to write, like Mukuro. Haha.

This was so good. 83 Muchas happiness desu. The way Colonello and Lal came together worked so well. I think Reborn's role was stronger than Colonello in the fic. (He soooo set the two of the up. He just knows these things. And I second on liking the smily!Reborn. He's evil with a smile, not a frown. I could tell who was who. There were clues, fedora, blond hair, Leon. Though Reborn does sneak in like a ninja.
